Baby Card and Older Card Projects

My friend is expecting their first baby over Easter Weekend. 

Such a great and wonderful blessing! 

This is the card that I made for them. 

I used Stampin Ups retired sets called Baby Tee's Gumbo wheel and 

Curly Cute. 

I rolled the gumbo wheel twice and cut out the

baby onsies and water coloured them. I then used pop dots to raise them

up off the card to give dimension. 

I really liked how this card turned out and I hope my friend likes it too. 

Now onto some older card projects. 

Easter Daffodil Trifold Card

 I used Tonic Studio Dies to create this card. I shaped the flower 

dies with my Heartfelt Creations Flower Shaping Tools. Then hot glued them to the card.

 Watercolured Hydrangea Card

 To create this card I used For the Love Of Stamps-

Flowering Hydrange stamp set. I masked the main flower and then stamped the leaves. 

Added glitter accents to finish off the card. 

Sympathy Card

I don't think anyone ever likes creating these types of cards. 

I used the For the Love of Stamps-In My Thoughts stamp set. I stamped the background

 images and the heat embossed the main flower image. 

Messy Watercolour Dahlia Card

 For this card I used For the Love of Stamps- Delightful Dahlias stamp set. 

I heat embossed the main flower image and then masked the flowers off and stamped and heat embossed the leaves. I then watercoloured the 

flowers and leaves drying between each layer of colour. 

Fairy Card

 This card was made using Tonic Studio dies and stamps. 

Floral Card

 This card was made using Tonic Studios dies and MFT stamps. 

Fairy Card

 I love this Fairy girl, love how its the back of her and she is walking away. 

Floral Dress Birthday Card

I used Tonic Sudios Dies and some random stamps for this card. 

Added pearl accents to finish it off. 

Thank you for looking and hope you are inspired to create.

Crafting at Home Extravaganza

Hello, todays projects are from the

 Crafting at Home Extravaganza that took place on Saturday

on Facebook. 

I had so much fun taking part and I hope she does it again. The person who 

was holding the event, really made me think

outside the box and put my crafting skills to the test. 

So many people took part and the craft projects from everyone were fab. 

These were my cards I made. 

 We were asked to make backgrounds. The first card I made was using one of those backgrounds. I used Stampin Up inks on a heat resistant mat, sprayed with water and then layed my paper on top and let it soak the ink up. I then dried it with a heat tool and then stamped the images on top. I used the Stampin Up Painted Petals stamp set. 

 My next card was made using the Stampin Up Too Kind and You've Got this stamp sets. This was a colour challenge. 

 The light house card was made using the Stampin Up High Tide and Wetlands stamp set. This was another colour challenge. 

My last card was made using the Stampin Up French Foliage and Because I Care stamp sets. I created the background and then stamped the Hydrangea in Stazon ink and then watercoloured the flower. 

This was also a colour challenge and the last project I made. 

Below are some older projects I have made. Enjoy. 

 I love Poppies and loved making this card. 

 The 14th Birthday Card I made for my daughter using the Stampin Up Number of Years stamp set. 

The next card was made using the Beautiful Day stamp set by AlteNew....LOVE this stamp set. I did what I call Messy Watercolouring on the image. I stamped it and heat embossed over the image and then just allowed the paint to spread out, dried each layer before adding more ink. 

My last card was made using Tonic Studios dies and stamps. I shaped the flowers using my flower shaping tools by Heartfelt Creations. 

Thank you all for looking, hope you are inspired to create.

Happy Sunday

Good afternoon, 

 Has everyone had a good weekend? Hope so:)

Lets get onto some projects I have made starting with some old ones  :)

This is a birthday gift set I made for my daughters best friend Hannah. She was turning 10.

And I always like to do something special for her.

This is a close up of the card. I love this stamp and Hannah's birthday falls in October so 

I thought they were autumn type colours but 

still bright and cheerful

This is the cupcake box I made to match the card. The cupcake was quite big

Items used:
Card Stock from First Edition
Ribbon and Gems from stash
Stamp: TGF Birthday Anya
I coloured her with Promarkers.




The second project I am showing you is another Gift sets I made for
 my mom and mother-in-law. Their birthdays fall in the same month.

Again I used the Birthday Anya and coloured her in with promarkers.
On the inside of the purse there is a tiny card that matches
the patterened paper on the outside of the purse.

I stamped the image in matching coloures on the plain card stock to add a bit of dimension.
I found the pattern for the purse on Splitcoast Stampers.


Items used;
Nestabilities
Cricut expression machine
Ribbon and Glitter from stash



The last Projects I will show today are the Birthday cards I made for my sons this past year. My oldest son David turned 17 and my youngest son Derek turned 13.

The top image is the card I made for David. He plays guitar and
I really liked this image, looked vintage to me .
I had not made a twist easle card before, so was really pleased with the way it turned out.

This card I made for Derek , again I had not ever made a waterfall card before.
And I found a super easy video on youtube, that walks you thru
all the steps to make one.
So if you have not made one either....give it a try its easy
and they are super cute!

This is the card my daughter made David for his birthday. 
The TV card is a free SVG file you can find on SVGCUTs
I went into my MTC software and made it into a card.
I then used my Imagine machine to print and cut the image on the tv screen.
My daughter put the card together.

This is the card Emma made Derek for his birthday. It is a type of swing card.
She wanted to do a skater because her big bro loves to skateboard.
The image was cut out useing MTC.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fab day!

It's been awhile

Hi everyone :) 

Long time no chat :(  So many things have gone on since last year. And things are sort of now starting to get a little bit better:) 

Won't go into detail , but it has been a roller coaster of a ride lol . 

Anyways, I am back and will be posting hopefully on  a regular basis again. I will be showing projects that I have last year, over the holidays and new projects that I am working on now. 

I have missed blogging and chatting to you all :)

The first project I would like to show you is a fairy card I made. 

I am not exactly sure of the name of the stamp, cause I bought it off of ebay and it was a used stamp. 

But I thought she was sooo pretty.

I used promarkers on the image.

This is a close up view of the detail.

Items used: 

White gloss card stock, Pink pearl card stock

Chocolate Stampin Up Ink Pad

Flower Punch

Gems and Ribbon from stash

Glitter Glue

Paper and Sentiment from: Papermania Rose Garden

Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Hope everyone is having a fab "green" day :)

I have some projects for you today from Valentines Day.

Am still trying to play catch up on my posts, so will also show you my

St. Patricks Day cards I made as well, along

with a birthday card for my niece who is turning 1 in a couple of weeks:).

And while I have been away I won an award from Jennys Creations 

you can find her wonderful blog here Thank you so much for thinking of me :)  It really means alot to know that I inspire people :)

So Thank you again

Now onto some very cute projects:) 

I will start with the Valentines projects and work down to the St. Patricks Day Cards:)

This is the card that I made for my kids for Valentines Day. I created it on the Gypsy. I welded 2 hearts together from Gypsy Wanderings and then duplicated some of the hearts and made them a smaller size so they would fit on top. I then used an embossing folder to give it a bit of depth.

This was my husbands Valentines Day card. I again used my Gypsy to weld 2 hearts together from Gypsy Wanderings and hiding bits on it, I then used my MTC software and cut the flame and "Hot 4-U" svg out. I popped that up with pop dots. I then used TGF stamp and coloured her in with Promarkers. And added some light pink heart gems and used a white gel pen to finish it off.

 I created the box for it by cutting some old scrap paper ,folding it  and then glueing it in the shape of a square and made a slit in the top for the card to sit in.

This is the treat bags I made my husband and kids. I used a Childs Year and cut the image at 3.50 width and 2.45 height. For the layer of the background I sized it the same and hid the center pieces. I used a Nestability and folded it in half for the image to sit on. and glued that to the tops of the bags.

This is the card I made for my niece that is turning 1 in a few weeks. I used MTC to create this card. 

Isnt Tweety sooooo cute :) The inside of the card says 1st Birthday. 

I punched some flowers and used my Kandis Rhinestone setter to put gems in the middle. I made this card so that they could cut Tweety from the card and put it in my nieces scrapbook:) The card is 6x6

And finally, this is the St.Patricks Day cards I made for friends. I used my Gypsy again and welded 2 hats from A Childs Year together and then cut out the lucky from simply charmed. I put black cardstock at the back of the card that had sticky tape on it. and then rubbed glitter onto the shamrock and the black bit of the hat to give it some bling. I cut out the buckle from the hat by welding 2 rounded squares together from Accent Essentials

Thanks for looking:)

Anya and Ian Book Marks

Over at Quixotic Challenges for challenge #17
its Altered Anya challenge. You can
do waterever you want really.
From as little to as much as you like in altering .
Well I didnt really alter Anya as such..but I am used to
useing her on cards. And I thought since I had been making book mark cards,
I would turn Anya and Ian into
book marks for my kids. So I hope this counts. as I altered the way I use them :)

After I finished both book marks I laminated them so they would last .

Thanks for looking,
